[XeTeX] hyphenation cancelled through footnote

[hanneder at staff.uni-marburg.de]

When editing Sanskrit texts with very long compounds, avoiding manual  
hyphenation is extremely time
saving. XeLaTeX fortunately takes care of this, but the mechanism is  
cancelled by footnotes within
the compounded word. In the example below the \varc{}{} causes the  
error. Any idea on how to enable
hyphenation under such conditions?

Thanks
Jürgen
